Daven MacKeannaugh - Order of the Sycamore

We, the great Majesties Kallista and Andreas of the Sylvan Throne of Æthelmearc, on this the twenty fifth day of the tenth month of Year of the Society, LX, have this to say on the following acquisition of Daven MacKeannaugh
Today’s Sycamore Causation: 
Daven’s numerous Creations.
After some Deliberation 
All feel The Royal Elation! 
We need Familiarization 
of his fierce Imagination! 
Imagine Our Jubilation
Of this Laudation
For today’s motivation 
At Agincourt, this Notation
He’ll receive standing Ovation
After this glad Proclamation
For his fine Qualifications 
With all Ramifications
And so in final In Summation
We laud his bardic Vocation

Solomon of Acre - Silver Tyger

Solomon of Acre has found 

A home in Our esteemed  ground. 

We’ll take this time to iterate

Laud and expound his martial plate

Verily to all those present 

Examples of practice well spent 

Raising others to much success  

Yet still gives time and praise not less

Today the Eastern Majesty 

Of Ryouko'jin and Indrakshi 

At Malagentia to confer 

This, Solomon’s Silver Tyger 

Done at this Great Northeastern War

Carrick MacSeáin - Order of the Maunche

Demon-King Ryoukojin 
And his intense royal grin
With Indrakshi Queen of the night
Together, turn Their royal sight
To East’s arts arbor of the whole
Finding inner groups, that extol 
Carrick MacSeáin’s with those who brew
Makes free with such and shares his view 
A very pleasant sight to see:
Practitioner of grain and bee
Using such basic foundations
He produces fine libations 
With perseverance in study 
And meticulous subtlety
Proven himself in taste and test
His spirits soar above the rest 
Thus We declare him member of 
The Order of the Maunche hereof 
With Arms:
Per bend argent and azure, on a heart gules five lozenges three and two argent.
Done this Northern Region War Camp
That can be hot, dry, wet or damp
Anno Societatis  LIX
